I am e-mailing from Tucson and want to recommend a book that addresses some
of the issues enumerated here.
³Changing Course² by Debra Ann Cantrell
Published in 2001 by McGraw-Hill
Cantrell interviewed 100 of us cruisers who were first mates to captains who
wished to sail. Her PhD dissertation was based on these findings and
resulted in ³Changing Course.²
